Fractal 75 - Frame Kit

Description Are you a whoop racer looking for the sharpest performance without compromising reliability?Or perhaps a freestyle pilot that wants a robust frame with quick maintenance?Maybe you simply want a stronger alternative to those flimsy nylon frames to keep you longer in the air?If you answer yes to any of those, then the Fractal 75 was designed for you!A little backstoryI’ve been thinking a while about whether to change that first paragraph or not, but there is no better way to put it.If you’ve owned, tried, or even just heard of my 65mm racing whoop frame, the Fractal 65, I could simply tell you the 75 embodies the essence of it, scaled up to 40mm propsAnd that would be absolutely true…But there is also a little more to it ��This frame has been in fact 10 months in the making.So much for just making the thing a little larger, you would thinkBut well, not quite.One of the main requirements for that frame was a lightweight, and this has proven challenging to achieve at an enlarged scale without compromising the other main requirement, rigidity.It took several iterations, in design, material, or supplier to find the perfect balance that would meet my expectations.But thanks to the help and testing of my awesome team pilots, lots of crashing and breaking, it is finally at a point where I’m satisfied with it and happy to offer it out to you!I hope you enjoy the extra thrust and stability over the 65mm, the extra prop area makes it much more versatile;you could build it into a lightweight absolute rocket on 300mah 25k 0802, a long-range ELRS F4, or even a vacation video rig carrying a peanut/insta 360 go!Or even go crazy and make it a pusher, or even use no ducts at all!The choice is yours, and I’m supporting your experimentation by regularly uploading 3D models on the downloads section for you to print at home ��A quick note on bottom plate optionsAll frames come with a 1.5mm bottom plate; it has been found to be the best weight/durability balance on 1SIf you’re a hard basher, want more rigidity for a 2S build or if you simply like more gravity to your builds, I’ve also cut 2mm bottom plates.There are designed with thinner braces to make the most out of the thicker material but remain about 0.5g heavierThis makes it an extremely stiff and near indestructible platform; allows for very tight tuning.You may choose it as an add-on, the kit includes one bottom plate and 13 extended motor screwsSo what about that frame?Remaining true to its original intent, the Fractal 75 features:75mm diagonal, squished X geometry, for 40mm props1.5mm Carbon Fiber / Individual Nylon ducts hybrid construction. Cut from Japanese T300 CF sheetLow-profile camera mount, no props in view, no tilt offsetLow Center of Gravity, by bringing the AIO closer to the frame/motorsAllows mounting with USB pointing up for easy accelerometer calibrationNo need for a canopy as all electronics are tucked safely between the ductsMaximum rigidity where it matters most; connecting the motors to the FCEasy maintenance, break one duct, replace only the single ductLightweight, about 21g with HM DiamondF4As always, this is a project that I designed for myself first, that I put together in a product to share with any pilot that would like to experience the same level of requirements!Designed with love, by a pilot, for pilots.But don’t take my word for it, here’s what Team Pilot Glenn “Bellaciao” has to say about it:“Tank like. Can slam it into the ground and it’s fine. Haven’t had any delamination or build quality issues. There’s plenty of room to add a vtx and rx, the ducts protects the parts from impact, and with 2s it truly feels like a larger quad. Facepunches will hurt.”Or a few notes from Sushan “Brdsrtrl”“Very stable and predictable, Makes an easy platform to make a super reliable quad, a million different configurations, Makes it easy to tuck away external parts if you aren’t using an aio.”What do you get?This frame kit contains everything you need to build your own craft, based on virtually any components.I do however recommend a 4-1 AIO (FC/ESC/RX/VTX) to keep the part count to a minimum, but there should be enough room to stack a separate VTX or RX on top of the AIOIt has a 25.5×25.5mm mounting pattern for the AIO, and motor fixations for both 3xM1.4×6.6mm and 3xM1.6×5.5mmThe camera mount is 3D printed and universal – I will upload the STL and Step files so you may print your own spares or season them to taste ��Contents:1x Fractal 75, 1.5mm thick Base Plate1x Nylon frame (used by trimming the ducts off)2x Printed TPU fixations – 1x 300mah and 1x 450mah 1S (camera, front and rear battery mounts)13x M1.4x5mm steel machine screw for motors4x M1.7x5mm self-threading screw for short board grommets4x M1.7x7mm self-threading screw for long board grommetsNotes:1-Only the frame kit is included.
